UK Fighter Jet Stranded in India Finally Departs for Australia After Five Weeks
A modern British fighter jet, the F-35B, which was stuck in India for over five weeks due to technical issues, has now been repaired and resumed its journey to Darwin, Australia. The aircraft, part of the HMS Prince of Wales fleet, faced jokes and memes during its unexpected stay in Thiruvananthapuram airport in Kerala.
The F-35B, a UK fighter jet that was stuck in India for over five weeks, has finally departed after repairs. The jet landed in Thiruvananthapuram airport on 14 June due to bad weather and a technical issue. It has now left for Darwin, Australia. A UK engineering team completed the repairs, allowing the aircraft to resume service. The jet was part of the fleet of HMS Prince of Wales, which is currently in the region. Engineers from the ship attempted to fix the jet before a team was deployed to Thiruvananthapuram airport. Speculation arose about dismantling and transporting the jet if repairs failed. F-35Bs are advanced stealth jets known for their capabilities. The incident was discussed in the House of Commons.
